What are the odds of Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 showing up at some point?

I have no clue what the licensing / legal situation is. Or Konami's willingness to re-re-release them.

Seems we'll be getting this next from SNK, if the rating is to be trusted

If they wanted to release those games again I suspect they'd port the HD collection that was released on PS3/360 rather than the original PS2 releases. Would be nice to have MGS4 available outside the PS3 too. I doubt they'd have enough financial incentive to do that work though.

good, now I wish we'd get 2002 UM and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum in any form for the PS4, I miss those games.

If only Capcom followed SNK footsteps we could have Street Fighter Alpha, Anniversary and Darkstalkers Collections too :(

Low, the games wouldn't control properly due to the lack of pressure sensitive face buttons.

Atlus really need to get Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 on this. It probably wouldn't cost that much and they'd probably make a decent profit.

Thanks to all the sales and humble bundle, I'm up to 12 PS2 titles on my PS4.

Played some Red Faction just now. FPS arena matches were so different back in 2001. Going to finally play some Dark Cloud 1 tonight, I think.

Dark Cloud can be rough in the beginning because of the weapon breaking and lack of water but it opens up once you get beyond that beginning area.
 
I'am surprised they're not pushing PS2 import games like they've done on the PS1. There are tons of non text heavy PS2 games that should be released on the store like EDF 1&2, Siren 2 and lots more.

I think Altus should strike while the iron is hot and put P3:FES on PS4. I've got no time to play it now work 5 and the inevitable NG+ run I will do, but it'd be nice to know I could have that one in the back burner

I asked Atlus to put their previous titles on ps4 it's the top comment on their recent blog post hope they consider

Going back and playing some of these has cemented it:

I've finally grown to have a sentimental appreciation for the "PS2 look."

Is Dark Chronicle worth a jam? I was hyped AF for that game back in the day but it seemed to have a very limited run in Australia. By the time I saved up my pocket money, I couldn't find it in store.

Also, is it voice acted? I'm too old for Wall of Text JRPGs.

Does StH play closer to AWL or Magical Melody? I know it's not the most fondly remembered Harvest Moon but I still want to give it a fair shake until I get my hands on Stardew Valley when it comes to Switch

english version is also planned – http://gematsu.com/2017/03/star-ocean-till-end-time-ps4-now-available-japan-launch-trailer

A western release has yet to be announced, but Square Enix recently trademarked ”Till the End of Time" in Europe, suggesting it is planned. English trophies also surfaced earlier this week.

Jak & Daxter is releasing on the same day as Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, also part of a pre-order bonus.

22 August

Finally, you may have heard that our friends at PlayStation are bringing all four of the original Jak and Daxter PS2 classics to the PS4 via PS Store later this year. As beloved games in Naughty Dog's history, we couldn't imagine a better pairing for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Anyone that pre-orders The Lost Legacy at participating retailers will receive a free digital copy of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy for PS4 when it launches on August 22. For those who pre-order from PS Store, you'll also get an Uncharted: The Lost Legacy PS4 theme designed by Truant Pixel.

RE Code Veronica X and Star Ocean the first Capcom and Square-Enix titles on PS2PS4?

Also nice to see more Natsume games
 
Yup

I legit find that ol' PS2 "Shimmer" aka dithering to be super fucking charming now :)

That isn't dithering, it's field rendering.

Field rendering is almost a kind of predecessor to checkerboarding, in which every other line is rendered to save ram with a smaller frame buffer size.

I heard Bully runs like crap on PS4, is this true?

I don't think those are iOS ports. Maybe it's psychosomatic, but I feel like bully and psychonauts run better in ps4 pro's boost mode. They didn't run the greatest on ps2 either.
